I have built this puzzle last year, but only now have finished it with stickers ( Dave, thanks for that!). I'm sure you will like it. 8-)

Finally, I get to share these pictures I have been sitting on from my sticker tests:

This is a really well designed and built puzzle. Everything one might expect from an Adam / Aleh collaboration

P.S. Pinoycuber27: Aleh has really big hands, so puzzles he holds look small

That looks so great! I have a question though. Does it really work like the applet does? I mean the centes can be turned individually right? because in the applet the centers always stay fixed and a side turns around it only. So only along the perimeter a turn drags pieces from the centers with it. The centers are therefore "immune" to rotation.
I always wondered how that would be turned into a real mechanism.

The centers can not be turned individually.

Dave, please don't make the monster from me. :lol:

A size of my hands is absolutely normal.
On the picture is optical illusion: my camera was on MF mode.

I think the Gigaminx is one by Adam, like on the right on the picture below.

There are Crazy NxNxN cube, now is this. Why don't you choose the name: "Crazy Megaminx"

GuiltyBystander · **Posted:** Wed Feb 10, 2010 11:34 am

The name Circle Cube existed long before Crazy NxNxN.

DLitwin · **Posted:** Wed Feb 10, 2010 2:13 pm

Aleh built the first Circle Cube in 2007. This, I assume, inspired the Crazy cubes, which were first shown about two years later.
